The Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department is inviting residents to review and comment on the draft master plan for proposed mountain bike facilities in Lincoln.
The proposal includes a future major bike park, single-track courses in each of the four quadrants of the city and small features such as pump tracks. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board will consider endorsing the plan at a public meeting at 4 p.m. on May 11 in the basement of Woods Park Place at 31st and “O” St.
Over the last six months, a 15-member working group including representatives of mountain biking organizations and industry professionals assisted parks staff in the development of the plan. The group’s goal is to provide facilities that would be equitably distributed throughout the community which could be enjoyed by beginners and seasoned riders.
“Lincoln has always been a strong biking community. The input from the working group to guide and support the creation of this master plan has been incredibly valuable for our department. We are excited to hear the community’s input on future mountain bike facilities across Lincoln,” says Maggie Stuckey-Ross, Lincoln Parks and Recreation Director.
